Column: Cal-Mex is having a moment in New York. But how does it taste?
Briefly

For about the past 40 years, Californians nostalgic for their home state's take on Mexican food - especially burritos, chile verde and colorado, and taco trucks - have tried to replicate what they're missing in New York, to middling results. Right now, however, the metropolis is having a Cal-Mex moment.
But when I'm in the city, I'm hungry for cuisines that aren't that common in Southern California (Haitian, Russian, Uruguayan) or are simply better back East (halal carts, Irish pubs, Nepalese dumplings).
